Insidious is a 2011 supernatural horror film directed by James Wan. It tells the story of the Lambert family who move into a new home. Their son Dalton falls into a coma after exploring the attic. His mother Renai believes something strange is happening in the house as doors open on their own and she sees a frightening apparition. They hire a psychic who explains that Dalton's spirit is lost in a realm called The Further where entities try to possess his empty body. With the psychic's help, Dalton's father Josh must enter The Further to rescue Dalton before a demon uses his body to harm others. The film relies on building atmosphere and tension rather than jump scares to create a creepy impression.

Film noir conventions
The document provides an overview of common themes, visual styles, settings, characters, and narrative devices found in film noir genres from the 1930s-1940s. It describes archetypal characters like the alienated protagonist who follows the rules and femme fatales who seduce powerful men. Visual elements include low-key lighting, shadows from blinds, and Dutch angles. Settings often involve urban nightlife locales and industrial areas depicting a dark and convoluted criminal underworld.
Research and planning narrative
The document provides plot summaries for three films:
- Kill Bill Volume 1 is about a bride seeking revenge on her ex-lover Bill and his assassin squad for trying to kill her on her wedding day.
- The Dark Knight shows Batman working to dismantle the remaining crime organizations in Gotham City but facing off against a new criminal mastermind known as The Joker.

Storyboard pp
The document discusses three films by director Spike Jonze that are known for their abnormal situations: Being John Malkovich, Where the Wild Things Are, and Her. It analyzes how Jonze places characters in strange realities without them questioning it, allowing the audience to focus on the story rather than doubting its plausibility. Specific plot details are reviewed for each film that depict unconventional circumstances the characters accept without confusion. The presentation argues Jonze's technique draws viewers into the stories and their emotional arcs rather than detaching them by breaking the reality.
Initial Ideas
The document discusses different subgenres of horror films that the author is considering for a film trailer project. It examines the key characteristics and conventions of religious/satanic films, which focus on possession and exorcism; supernatural films, which involve ghostly happenings and haunted locations turning family members against each other; slasher films, which center around a psychologically disturbed killer and contain graphic violence and gore; and found footage films, which are presented as uncovered video camera footage documenting an unknown disturbance. The author analyzes examples and defining elements of each subgenre to determine which one to pursue for the trailer.
Stock characters in horror
The document describes several common character archetypes that are often killed off in horror movies, including the jock, the wanderer who explores alone, the "blonde" used for comic relief, the jock's girlfriend, the "normal guy," the Pandora character who unleashes trouble, and the pervert motivated by sex. These characters tend to be cocky, wander off alone, ignore dangers to pursue sex, or have secrets exposed, which makes them susceptible to being killed in stereotypical ways like during bodily functions or when isolated from the group.

Teeth&the slumber party massacre
The document summarizes and compares two horror films:
1) "Close Your Eyes For a Second And.. Sleep Forever" from 1982 which was intended to be feminist but portrayed women as inferior and upheld Freud's theory of male sadism and female voyeurism. It used conventions of the horror genre.
2) "Teeth" from 2008 which was a feminist horror-comedy with a female protagonist who could defend herself. It subverted expectations by having women receive gratification from male pain instead of the other way around.
Both films are analyzed based on psychological theory, direction, genre, and how they portray gender through camerawork, sound, and mise-en-scene.

Brainstorm Paragraph Organization
This document provides guidance on writing paragraphs and drafting essays. It discusses how to start the writing process, including brainstorming ideas and planning before drafting. It emphasizes that the first draft is for getting ideas down on paper and should not be polished. Good paragraphs are described as having a clear topic sentence, unity, coherence, and development. They should be varied in length for readability. The five-step process for writing a paragraph involves choosing a controlling idea, explaining it, giving examples, explaining the examples, and concluding the paragraph's idea.
The House on Mango Street figurative language
The document analyzes quotes from Sandra Cisneros's book "The House on Mango Street" and discusses the metaphors and descriptive language used in the quotes. It explains the meaning and implications of various quotes, such as a reference to feeling trapped like a red balloon tied to an anchor. The document also questions why Cisneros describes a character learning to fly and falling as dropping "like a sugar donut." Overall, the document examines Cisneros's use of figurative language in the book.
Writing cohesion
Reference words such as pronouns and determiners are used to refer to people, objects, or ideas that have already been mentioned or will be mentioned later in order to avoid repetition. Common reference words include pronouns like it, they, this, and that as well as determiners like the former and ones. Reference words help create cohesion by linking different parts of the text together.
Writing conclusions
The document provides tips for concluding an essay or paper. It recommends that a conclusion should: 1) restate the main idea and importance, 2) give a sense of completeness by tying ideas together, and 3) leave a final impression on the reader. Specific tips include answering "so what?", showing why the essay was meaningful, stating the main point forcefully with images instead of repeating information, and creating new meaning by tying thoughts together into a new perspective. Sample essay introductions and conclusions are also provided to illustrate these strategies.

It then outlines several strategies for creating an engaging opening, including using shocking statements, startling questions, imaginative scenarios, anecdotes, background information, or adapting familiar quotes.

1) It has around 1350 words and can be divided into 8 parts, with 4 parts in the preamble.
2) The key sections declare that all men are created equal and have rights to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness; governments are created to protect these rights and get power from the consent of the governed; and when a government abuses its people, they have the right to change or abolish it.

- 4. Copyright ยฉ 2011 TES English One of the most dramatic moments in The Crucible is when Proctor tears up his signed confession to witchcraft, and subsequently, his right to life. Proctor is caught between the decision to live, a liar under a tainted name, or to die a martyr, with his honor and a promise of Heaven. The Crucible is centered on issues of : morality, rebellion, an individualโs right to freewill, social conformity and redemption. John is constantly pinpointed as a member of this society who is unwilling to conform to the rigid way of life in Salem. His ultimate rebellion is when he tears up his confession, thus going against the will of the high court, and

Indeed, the affair itself shows weakness, however, I feel that it highlights how โhumanโ John is, in contrast to the more rigid, righteous Puritan residents of Salem. Proctor embodies human fallibility, a sinner, somebody who have

- 8. Copyright ยฉ 2011 TES English A MODEL CONCLUSION: To conclude, in my opinion it is the quest for the Devil which brings Salemโs residents closer to him. Satan is eventually recognized as part of them rather than a separate being. These people are the embodiment of the phantom they were hunting. Like Satan, who himself was once angelic, they fall from grace and fall from holiness to undoubted evil, as Satan did from Heaven to Hell. This is ironic as in the course of the outward search and those that they believed to be in league with and corrupted by Satan they were actually becoming the most corrupt people in the village. In destroying his confession, Proctor
